🔍 Key Concepts

• Microwave radiation hazards from shipboard satellite antennas (INMARSAT systems) • The difference between regulatory power limits and actual safety precautions for personnel near antennas • How radomes (protective domes) affect – and do NOT affect – radiation hazards or knowledge of antenna direction

💭 Think About

• Look at which choice actually addresses how physical exposure to microwave energy is reduced, not just paperwork, notifications, or regulations. • Ask yourself: Does the presence of a radome change the radiation hazard itself, or only how the antenna looks from the outside? • Consider whether all INMARSAT systems radiate the same power and pose the same hazard, or if hazard depends on antenna type, frequency, and power level.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option, if any, confuses administrative/notification actions with actual physical safety from radiation. • Check whether any choice incorrectly suggests that all INMARSAT antennas have the same hazard level. • Verify which statement correctly reflects that a radome does not block all microwave energy and mainly provides mechanical/environmental protection, not guaranteed safety.
